RE: New "redesign" of LXmini.

Ben,

The primary negative aspect has essentially nothing to do with the technical/acoustic achievement (or lack thereof) of your design. Do you see that?
I'm sure your setup sounds okay, but it's the 'value' of the product that represents a huge step downward from the LXmini system....or similar schemes.

One of the reasons the LXmini system has become such a success is because it can be DIY-constructed by the average half-way-handy audiophile in a weekend with simple tools.
The Madisound LXmini kit costs $510 (plus the cost of PVC/couplings, which is essentially nothing) compared to $3000.00 for your setup. Your system (especially so if you include sub-woofers and the dspMusik scheme) elevates the cost WELL above the price point of an LXmini+ system.

I know it seems silly to many, but VALUE is everything in this crazy hobby. The Linkwitz business model accentuates that, yours does not.
You've now embarked on the path where you attend audio shows and demonstrate your product to an industry full of self-deception and intellectual dishonesty, where marketing is king and unqualified "reviewers" ubiquitous.

Cheers,

Dave Reite.
